• Account Takeover: Hackers might target your social accounts to steal your followers, deface your content, or scam your audience (for example, by posting cryptocurrency scams from a compromised account). Weak or reused passwords, or absent 2FA, make these takeovers much easier.
• Social Engineering & Phishing: Creators often get business-related DMs or emails. Attackers may impersonate brands or platform support to trick you into giving up login credentials. Without proper safeguards, a moment of oversight can lead to losing your channel or profile.
• Sim Swap & Phone Porting Attacks: If your accounts rely on SMS texts for two-factor authentication, criminals might attempt a SIM swap (hijacking your phone number) to intercept those codes. This risk is mitigated by stronger 2FA methods that we help put in place.
• Unmonitored Access: Over time, you might have connected various apps or given team members access to your accounts. Old managers, editors, or third-party apps can become entry points if not managed. Unrevoked access tokens or shared passwords can be exploited by malicious parties if they’re not cleaned up.
